Quote by Anne Bronte

“I would not send a poor girl into the world, ignorant of the snares that beset her path; nor would I watch and guard her, till, deprived of self-respect and self-reliance, she lost the power or the will to watch and guard herself .”

'Agnes Grey', published in 1847, gained recognition only after her death and is now considered a classic of English literature. The novel is renowned for its profound psychological insights and realistic style, exploring the position of women in society and moral dilemmas. more
